KAREN ROMERO - August 7, 2010 - 3:57 am

Thanks Tara for an awe inspiring 2 and a half days…still trying to process all that I learned and put it to use. The time spent with you and all of the amazing girls and models will never be forgotten! Thanks for letting me “grill” you with my constant barrage of questions…and lastly, thanks for caring if we succeed! Love ya girl!

{ Refuge }

Most people know me as a photographer.  They associate my creative outlet of choice with the images I take.  Of course that is very true now….However, those that have known me a long time know what my first love has always been.   Music, specifically the piano.  I remember sometimes spending an entire day at a...

{ Mowhawk Dude } Sequim WA Photographer

Wyatt and I both headed over to Port Townsend for some much needed haircuts this afternoon.  He has been growing out his hair to get his “mowhawk”.  In reality it is just a fauxhawk, spiked up and cut short on the sides….but shhhh don’t tell him that. LOL  He is very proud of his “mowhawk”....

{ Monkey On the Bed } Sequim WA Child Photographer

This shoot has kind of become a spring tradition in our house.  Every year about this time we pull everything off mommy and daddys bed (except for the comforter and sheets)…the process of that alone usually gets him going…because he is allowed to make a mess! I break out my 24mm wide angle , and...
